Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1322047A1] A coupling circuit arrangement for data communication over a power line comprises a modulator/demodulator circuit (6) for modulating data signals for transmission over the power line (2,3), and for demodulating signals which have been transmitted over the power line into data signals, a power supply circuit (Vcc2), and isolation means (1) for providing galvanic isolation from the power line. The isolation means comprises light emitting elements and light detecting elements which are arranged between the modulator/demodulator circuit (6) and the power line (2,3). The isolation means may also be used to transmit a digital control signal which indicates the status of the power supply circuit or an over-temperature condition, or which is a transmit enable signal . The digital control signal may be encoded in the analog data signal by a digital shift in the DC bias level or by a complete removal of the DC biasing signal. <IMAGE>
